WARNING!
! All devices should be mounted in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions and securely fastened to vehicle elements of sufficient strength to
withstand the forces applied to the device. Ease of operation and convenience to the
operator should be the prime consideration when mounting the siren and controls.
Adjust the mounting angle to allow maximum operator visibility. Do not mount the
Control Head Module in a location that will obstruct the drivers view. Mount the
microphone clip in a convenient location to allow the operator easy access. Devices
should be mounted only in locations that conform to their SAE identification code as
described in SAE Standard J1849. For example, electronics designed for interior
mounting should not be placed underhood, etc.
Controls should be placed within convenient reach* of the driver or if intended
for two person operation the driver and/or passenger. In some vehicles, multiple
control switches and/or using methods such as “horn ring transfer” which utilizes the
vehicle horn switch to toggle between siren tones may be necessary for convenient
operation from two positions.
